On the 23rd Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Never Forget:

…The cowardly acts perpetrated against our country by those who seek to destroy us and our way of life.

…The innocent men, women, and children who lost their lives on this tragic day; only for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

…Our courageous first responders; who ran toward the disasters to offer help to those in need and perished while trying to help and serve their fellow Americans.

Most of us can recall where we were that tragic day, what we were doing as we first got word of the attacks on our country, and stood in shock as we watched the Twin Towers in New York City crumble.

Our Country may have been down, and many countries would have crumbled under such crushing blows, but while we watched in horror as the events unfolded before our eyes, our strength and resolve grew and we became a determined people to punish those who promote terrorism and to make sure this tragedy would never happen again.

Please take a moment today to pause and remember those who perished on 9/11. Remember our first responders who face danger daily, and finally remember and thank our armed forces; both here at home and deployed around the world ensuring that America remains the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

Fraternally,
